Somethings up with these listings. 4 domains in a row with the same title "Free Classified advertisements" None of them display site name.

pstar,

Thanks for the heads-up - that category appears to need some work, in general.

Your welcome. From the looks of the classified section of Yahoo's directory it does seem like dmoz classified needs to a bit of attention. All those sites are the same.

Sorry - I am not quite following you - what relationship are you seeing between Yahoo and the ODP? We are in no way related, and do not get data from each other. Could you explain a little more, please?

i understand there's no relation between the two. I was just comparing the listings between dmoz/yahoo on this particular category and it seems like dmoz should address the quality of listings. Maybe even look at yahoo to see which sites are quality sites.

Maybe our definition of 'quality' is different from Yahoo's definition and from your definition.

And this particular situation is already being taken care of.
